Kiss/Dressed to Kill 50th Anniversary Remix Edition

Following the huge response “ROCK AND ROLL OVER REMIX”, two new titles in the remix series will be released at the same time! The sequel, “DRESSED TO KILL”, is now available!! Music professionals take on the challenge of remix series of famous albums.Although we have been talking about the “great response” and “the latest work”, let’s start with an overview of the series for those who are new to the series. This series is a collection of KISS enthusiasts from overseas who are reviving famous records using all kinds of materials and techniques. However, it is on a completely different level from the “I tried making it” stories that are all over the place. In the first place, the maniac who worked on it was a sound professional who had made a living through music. He has a long career in the world of musicals, creating stage sounds. He has poured all of his ears, knowledge, and skills into creating KISS’s masterpieces. That is the huge hit “ROCK AND ROLL OVER REMIX”, and the expanded and complete version of the concept work “Elder: Great Battle of the Underworld”, “A WORLD WITHOUT HEROES Expanded ELDER Redux”. This work is the latest work in such a professionally produced series, “DRESSED TO KILL”. Speaking of “DRESSED TO KILL,” a major renovation that respects the individuality of the famous album to the utmost, it is one of KISS’s masterpieces that is highly regarded by fans. Like “ROCK AND ROLL OVER” and “HOTTER THAN HELL”, it has a unique sound, but this work strictly adheres to that familiar taste and adds only new depth. To begin with, “DRESSED TO KILL” was an album that was made at breakneck speed. It was a last-minute job, just before the band decided to record a live show and headed off to ALIVE!. Many of the songs were written in a hurry and recorded in a hurry. Even Peter and the other members themselves had no idea what the song would become after the vocals were added. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons even brought out the carryover songs from the WICKED LESTER era, “She” and “Love Her All I Can,” which they teamed up with before KISS was formed, so you can see how busy they were at the time. And traces of this are still left in the actual performance. The most obvious one is the drums. While this album is said to be one of Peter’s best performances, the arrangements are simple and there are never many accents or fills. The songs themselves are short, and almost all songs have the same pattern: verse → chorus → verse → chorus → solo (if available) → chorus and fade. Of course, this was not a flaw, but rather the speed of KISS at the time, and the momentum itself at the time. The maniac who produced this work aimed to bring out only the original sound that had been buried without sacrificing its momentum. The drums are a blend of original drum sounds and unique samples taken from other KISS recordings. The aim is to “clean” the sound, not to replace it with modern sounds. The guitar is layered with overdrive through an amp modeler, and while it’s mixed with the original track to add thickness, the overall tone is untouched. This line is really useful. Grit is also added to the bass, approaching the texture that Gene used on stage. It filled in the gaps between songs. The backing vocals are spread to the left and right using stereo simulation, and the chorus has a completely different perspective. And, the highlight of this work is the acoustic guitar. In fact, all songs on “DRESSED TO KILL” have a very small acoustic guitar playing under the guitar. In this work, it has been separated and raised, making it easier to hear it more clearly. Since he plays the same phrase as the distorted electric guitar, the arrangement itself does not change, but “a sound that has been there for half a century but no one noticed” is now appearing. This is a subtle but goosebumping upgrade that changes the impression of a great album. Expanding the famous album with arrangements, additional songs, and different mixes This work is also “DRESSED TO KILL” expanded in various ways. One of them is arrangement. Although the structure of the song is not touched on, the endings that were faded in some songs have been extended. It has a neat finish. And the addition of songs that were missing from the original album. Two songs, “Dontcha Hesitate” and “It Ain’t The Smoke (It’s The Fire),” are neatly included in the running order. Not only is this a unique version of this work, but the song order also blends into the album as if it had been there from the beginning. Lastly, “She (wicked mix)” was included as a bonus. As mentioned above, it is a carryover song from WICKED LESTER, and here it has been completed in a different version that clearly shows the musical influence of pre-KISS. This is a song that gently peeks into the roots of the band. “DRESSED TO KILL” was painstakingly created by engineers with deep KISS knowledge and professional skills. This is a great masterpiece that has been reborn with a new expression while maintaining fidelity to the original. Each instrument stands out clearly, is powerful and rich in detail, and becomes even more awesome as you raise the volume. Peter, Ace, Paul, Gene. It’s so natural and raw that it feels like you’re sitting in the middle of the studio surrounded by those four people. “DRESSED TO KILL” edition of the professionally produced remix series following the highly popular “ROCK AND ROLL OVER REMIX”.
